Is this in one place or three places? It would seem like it would have to be three places. What did the triple gears look like? I suppose since the low gear has the smallest radius it had the higher load of the gearset.

It was in one place only. Flywheel is toast as one of the triple gear pins is loose. All three triple gears were spinning on the bushings. I don't know the whole story. Just got the trans to repair for a guy.

Tom, I bet they didn't set up enough clearance on the triple gears. The bushings seized on the pins and the gears spun... enough to get really hot! I hope those are standard pins and you can go oversize.

You are really a magic worker if you can fix that tranny! Can you salvage the brake and reverse drums?

Someone a couple months ago had that happen. There were a number of postings here about it. Can a flywheel like that be repaired? Yes, however it really is not worth it. From when the pin first begins to spin in the flywheel, the gears have pressure pushing them out from center. The hole is worn almost totally off center. Therefore you cannot simply use a special over-size custom pin because the final position has to be precise in an egg shaped hole. You could mill the hole out even larger if you can index the three holes together precisely enough. A tricky task (read as expensive) in even the best of machine shops.

If anyone close by me has a flywheel like that, I also need one for an HCCT. Drive carefully, and enjoy, W2

The bush was frozen solid. I tried to use a puller to get it off, but it wouldn't budge. I finally slit it with a dremel cut-off tool and pryed it open enough to get it to release. It was a bear. I'm in the process of rebuilding now.
